Ax the Ax the Tax

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 29 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

"The carbon tax is no longer the ballot box question," a Conservative source in Western Canada told Radio-Canada. "But we've invested so much money fine-tuning that message, it's hard to abandon it completely."

"The start of a tariff war with the United States is changing voters' moods. It's harder to talk about a broken Canada when there's a growing sense of patriotism," another Conservative source said.

"The challenge is to demonstrate that the party can adapt quickly, that the leader can go beyond slogans and that he has more than one trick up his sleeve," warns a third source close to the party.

I've re-read this at least five times and I'm still enjoying it every time.

Especially:

that the leader can go beyond slogans

It's perfect.

It reads like a Beaverton article. It's incredible. I'm still reading those lines BTW.

Who could have predicted that building a movement around getting rid of one person could have any shortcomings.

Not the US Democratic Party.

Damn, really sucks that Canadians have pride in their country.

It's one of the main problems I've had with PP from the get go. He won't talk like an adult and he complains all the time.

You want broken ?

Just fucking look. Look at the cesspool of fascism intentionally burning shit to the ground.

You want broken?

Vote pp. The crypto loving wood stroking anglosaxon word speaking never had a real job cozies up with traitors goofy looking fucktard with all the 3 word slogans and nothing else.

At the edges of the Conservosphere, reality begins to intrude

Several Conservatives also point out that a lot of money has been invested in this game plan, and there's little time left to change course.

I’d be anxious as well. The Fuck Trudeau stickers, flags, and t-shirts have already been printed and shipped from China!
